Boondoggle - Ringwood Brewery

Yes, another Ringwood brewery offering.  Hoping it's better than their previous effort (Old Thumper)

Came in a clear bottle and served in a pint glass
Pours a golden honey colour, akin to apple juice, as it is also perfectly clear.  Little carbonation with a decent frothy white head

On the nose, the sweet malt is evident, giving off some yeasty/biscuity aromas.  Hops give off plenty of citrus.

At the front end, the sweet (oh so sweet) bready, biscuity malt gives way to the some yeasty notes and plenty of hop flavour in the mid-palate.  Finishes with plenty of lemon and grapefruit hop flavour, and decent bitterness.  Not very complex, and quite bland...

It feels a little too dry on the finish with a slightly unpleasent solvent feel, but is refreshing.  Thin/medium bodied.
Like the Old Thumper (also Ringwood), this is average and not something I would rush out to get again
50% - Poor
